my question -- the bigger question is if susan rice is nominated to take hillary clinton's place, are you going to fight that? >> well, i'm a member of the house, not a member of the senate, so it is up to the senate to hold confirmation hearings on cabinet level -- i leave that to the senate to determine whether or not she's qualified to hold the position of secretary of state. >> congressman joe heck, thank you for your time. >>> dana bash now, she staked out both hearings this morning. dana, i saw you raeporting this morning, we did not get pictures of him, but got the motorcade, and lots going on the hill this morning. what are democrats telling you about petraeus' testimony? >> reporter: very interesting. many came out to try to give an explanation for why there is a difference or a discrepancy as congressman heck just said what general petraeus said on september 14th, discrepancy between that and what susan rice said publicly two days later. the answer that several are giving us is because she was talking from unclassified talking points. and what they learned behind closed door

susan rice, the u.s. ambassador to the united nations, is sitting down with some of her more outspoken critics about comments she made over the attack in benghazi. congress has been demanding answers since ambassador chris stevens and three other americans were killed in libya on september 11. and there's no bigger critic of rice than senator john mccain. >> that was an act of terror. for 19 disagree with that fundamental fact i think is ignoring the facts. she continued to tell the world through all the talk shows that that -- that it was a "spontaneous demonstration sparked by a video." that's not competence in my view. >> rice is meeting now with senator john mccain of arizona and then will sit down with lindsay graham of south carolina and senator kelly ayotte from new hampshire. and we have more now from thrill. dana, tell us more. >> reporter: the meeting we believe is underway now. i say we believe because we have seen the senators go into the area where the meeting will take place. it is happening

susan rice was -- you look at the context. we're in a presidential election, and susan rice was using talking points altered potentially by the white house and that took the words, you know, that took the terrorist group attacks out of those talking points meaning that there could have been a coverup and we're trying to get to the bottom of it. if she took out that phrase, that would be a huge problem for confirmation. >> jason, what do you think it is like to be susan rice these days? >> i think it is very difficult. look, barack obama has not always had an easy time pushing his nominees through, but think about it. not only is she in the middle of this benghazi scandal and people are going to be questioning whether she was honest or a show for the white house but you're following hillary clinton who has been one of the most popular and well-respected secretaries of state that we have had in the last 20 years. i think susan rice is in a difficult position and i am pretty sure john kerry is thinking this is my chance so i thin

ambassador susan rice -- excuse me, u.n. ambassador susan rice went to capitol hill to calm the furor over the attack on the embassy in benghazi, libya. she met with her chief critics, john mccain, lindsey graham, kelly ayotte. they have been critical of rice's initial explanation on the sunday talk shows on what was behind the september attack that killed four americans including ambassador chris stevens. here is senator lindsey graham's reaction after that meeting. >> bottom line, i'm more disturbed now than i was before that the 16 september explanation about how four americans died in benghazi, libya, by ambassador rice, i think does not do justice to the reality at the time, and in hindsight clearly was completely wrong. but here's the key, in real time it was a statement disconnected from reality. >> dana bash, let me bring you in, our senior congressional correspondent. you were there among the reporters and producers there as we saw the three senators. prior to today's closed door meeting, it sounded like the three w

talking points that susan rice used on that day, and they were very short. it sounds like there were two, maybe three points in the talking points, and it was almost certain to change. even dianne feinstein doesn't like to get political on these, and she was aggressive in her defense saying she's being unfairly hillary'ed. >> who did she get the talking points from? did she get it from general petraeus, and, secondly, is there some sort of suggestion that perhaps they gave the talking points, but they still had other intelligence that was clear it of as terrorist attack? >> the suggestion, it seems to be that the difference here in what they're trying to -- the picture they're trying to paint is there's a difference between unclassified talking points, what they can talk about in public, and classified talking points, what at the time still they didn't feel comfortable talking about in public for whatever reason. that is the difference that they're painting. where she got the talking points, unclear if it's from petraeus. i can tell thaw the director of nati
